Demo Importer follows the same pattern as most theme-bundled importers: a wizard picks a starter pack, writes pack metadata to wp_options, and inserts demo content into wp_posts, wp_postmeta, wp_terms, and wp_term_relationships. Once the wizard closes there is no persisted run log, which makes which demo did we use a question only the build lead can answer.

SleekView treats the importer footprint as data. A workspace over wp_options exposes every recorded run with pack name, importer version, and timestamp. A joined view over wp_posts filtered by post date around each run timestamp lists every inserted post, page, and attachment, sortable across runs and packs.

The combined workspace answers practical questions: which starter pack inserted these orphan pages, which run failed halfway leaving option keys behind, and which demo content is still live on a launched site. None of that requires SQL or guessing post-date ranges once the views exist.

Demo Importer and its variants are how most WordPress builds skip the blank-canvas problem. A starter pack lands a recognisable site in a few clicks, the build proceeds, and the importer is forgotten. The trouble shows up later when an editor finds a placeholder testimonial on a launched page or an agency lead can't remember which pack the project used.

The plugin is a wizard, not a logbook, so the answer to what was imported lives in scattered wp_options keys and post-date ranges that nobody bothers reconstructing. Reading those tables directly turns the import into a workspace. Build leads see every pack they tried with timestamps and version numbers.

QA reviewers list every post created during a demo window for an editorial sweep. Theme developers verify a new pack against its manifest by sorting the run rows. Half-failed installs that left orphan option keys surface as a chip rather than a database query.

That visibility turns Demo Importer from a one-shot wizard into something a team can audit before launch.
